Early in the morning on March 29, Wang Yuanbao came to the outside of Buyun Tower in East City, Chang'an. Today is the day when he invited all the bosses of the Chang'an City Liuli Guild. It was of great importance and he dared not neglect it. Therefore, just after the hour of the year, he arrived at Buyun Tower.

Originally, he wanted to take Buyun Tower down, but after that, he learned that a group of literati met here. Although they were wealthy merchants, they did not dare to be too arrogant in front of literati. Who knows whether the future Shangshu will appear among these literati, Jingzhao.

At one moment, after waiting for two hours, Wang Yuanbao did not wait for any of the guests. He frowned and was secretly angry: Do these bosses of the Liuli Guild think that his main energy is on the market, so he neglected him?

After a while, Wang Yuanbao finally saw an oil-walled car carrying one of the people he invited.

"Langjun Gu is here, haha... I'm not welcome." Wang Yuanbao was angry, but his face was still peaceful. He had to come and bow to the Gu Dong family.

The face of Gu Dongjia was as gloomy as a well. When he saw him, he said to himself: "Wen Wang, what are you waiting for here? Don't wait, no one will come."

"oh?"

"Ye Shiyi invited most of the glass shops in the east and west cities of Beijing to discuss the allocation of glassware share

"What, what"

Wang Yuanbao's face became extremely ugly. He asked himself that his reaction was very fast. Ye Chang had just held a bidding party. Here he invited the owner of Liulixing to discuss collective countermeasures, but he never thought that Ye Chang's actions were faster than him.

"Gu Langjun, what's going on? Tell me and listen to me." After resolutely calmed down, Wang Yuanbao said in a deep voice.

"I received the invitation from Wang Weng yesterday morning and Ye Shiyi in the afternoon." The Gu Dongjia looked gloomy: "The invitation was sent by Hu Yuanxiang. Except for Wang Weng and Mr. Wang, everyone received it."

"Hu Yuanxiang, this short-sighted dog slave"

After hearing the news, Wang Yuanbao immediately understood what was going on.

Hu Yuanxiang was his competitor in the city competition. Under Jia Maoer's introduction, he had a relationship with Ye Chang. Wang Yuanbao didn't like him, so there was no one when he distributed the invitation. However, the three generations of Hu Yuanxiang's family operated Liuli in Chang'an, and their connections were still there. The news of Wang Yuanbao's treat was soon known. Although Wang Yuanbao's name of treating him was not to discuss dealing with Ye Chang, since he did not invite Hu Yuanxiang, Hu Yuanxiang would naturally think about destroying the conference.

"No one informed me..."

Wang Yuanbao felt a little disappointed at this time. None of the more than ten major merchants operating glassware in Chang'an City informed him. It was Gu Langjun, who had always had a bad relationship with the Hu family and had not received an invitation, so he leaked the news to him.

"Wang Weng, you have to think of a solution. You know the bidding for glassware yesterday. More than a hundred pieces of glassware sold for 100,000 yuan, whether it is glass tea sets or glass treasure mirrors, they are very popular. Obviously, they will be very popular in Chang'an. If we are excluded, we will not only not make money from glassware, but also the glass in our hands will be greatly affected."

How could Wang Yuanbao not understand what Gu Langjun said, but what could he do?

"In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Wang Weng took the lead and led us who had not received the invitation to go straight to Ye Shiyilang. Since Wang Weng took over the football market from Ye Shiyilang, he thought he would be a bit sympathetic. Just let us join in and get a share of the pie, everything will naturally be stable."

Wang Yuanbao looked a little strange. He looked at Gu Langjun and asked after a while: "We... are not only yours?"

"Of course, not only Hu Yuanxiang's eyes were so low that he only sent a large businessman, and there were a few that were just like me and were not in his eyes. We discussed it together, and felt that we were weak and could not compete with him. Only Wang Weng took the lead can he compete with Hu Yuanxiang."

Wang Yuanbao's mouth was full of bitterness, so he understood Gu Langjun's true intention. Gu Langjun said it nicely, saying that he had some old friendship with Ye Chang. In fact, everyone knew that he took over the football market from Ye Chang, but he was very tricky.

Now that he is asked to negotiate with Ye Chang again, there are only two things: one is to use the original methods again, and the other is to bow down to apologize to Ye Chang.

But if you use the original method again? Not to mention that for a moment, there is no need for a person with a strong weight to put pressure and influence on Ye Chang, even if there is, who dares at this time? Anyone with a little more informed knowledge in Chang'an City now knows that Ye Chang presented a huge treasure mirror to Yang Yuhuan, which made the saint happy. Moreover, Ye Chang had just won a big victory in Liaodong, and he recovered Jilizhou without taking advantage of the court's army, soldiers, arrows and arrows.

Offering treasures and military merits, both are in line with Li Longji's eagerness to be praised. There is Yang Yuhuan inside and Li Linfu outside. Ye Chang's backing is no longer the situation where he had no support except Princess Yuzhen. Now, even if Princess Yuzhen wants to reach out to Ye Chang, he may not be able to get it well.

Then the only way is to surrender to Ye Chang...

Originally, Wang Yuanbao thought about concentrating the Chang'an City Glass Walk to fight Ye Chang, but was disintegrated by Ye Chang's quota allocation of a glassware. He had even died of his plan before he could even use it. In this situation, Wang Yuanbao could not doubt that all of this was conceived by Ye Chang in advance.

If so...

Wang Yuanbao's forehead was sweating protruded, and his hair was standing up all over his body, as if there was an extremely fierce and cunning beast, showing his sharp teeth behind him.

At this time, Wang Yuanbao really regretted it and shouldn't have offended Ye Chang.

From the second year of Tianbao, he took away the operating rights of the market from Ye Chang to the fifth year of Tianbao, less than four years by month, Ye Chang's revenge has arrived.

"This matter... let me think about it again and think about it again." Wang Yuanbao hesitated for a long time and finally said slowly.

Gu Langjun's eyes were full of disappointment. He felt that Wang Yuanbao should be interrupted and he really had no wisdom to linger in the mall for thirty years. However, his family knew his family's affairs, and the deep conflict between him and Hu Yuanxiang was better than Wang Yuanbao and Hu Yuanxiang. If he did not get Wang Yuanbao's help, he would go to see Ye Chang, and Ye Chang would not pay attention to him.

"Wang Weng, we all know that there is no grudge in this world that we cannot let go of, but the word "benefit" that we cannot let go. If we can bring more benefits to Ye Shiyilang than Hu Yuanxiang, there is a little misunderstanding before. How can Ye Shiyi take it seriously? What we want is just Wang Weng, you admit your mistake to Ye Shiyi. We open the door to do business. We can make money by admitting one mistake. If you don't think so, you can recognize your parents. It's just that." In a hurry, Gu Langjun told Wang Yuanbao.

Wang Yuanbao sighed: "I know... Okay, I'll send a letter of worship to Ye Chang's mansion... No, I'll go to his house in person to wait. Alas, the difference in thought at that time ended here."

After thinking about it, in order to show his sincerity, he asked someone to go back and prepare a gift and prepare to go straight to Ye Chang's mansion. While he was still giving instructions, he saw several literati walking over, two of them he recognized.

"Isn't this Wang Weng? Why did you come to Buyun Tower today if you have time?" One of the people he recognized nodded to him.

"So it's Mr. He, Mr. Fei." Wang Yuanbao had something to do in his mind, so he just greeted him, turned around and left. His lost appearance fell into He. The two of them looked at each other, feeling a little displeased.

When Li Shizhi was the prime minister, his status as a disciple and his disciples were also high. Wang Yuanbao was forced to curry favor with them when he saw that they were not too small, but now, he is not willing to say a few more words.

"This Wang Weng looks very rich... I don't know who he is?" asked a thin scholar who was with them.

"Ah, brother Zimei, this Wang Weng is Wang Yuanbao, a famous wealthy man in Chang'an City. The so-called wealth is as good as a country, is to say he." Mr. He said with a smile.

Zimei is Du Fu, and he is closer to Li Shi's faction. This time he went to Beijing to prepare to participate in the election. Li Yong's death had a great impact on him, making him realize that there were indeed evil people in the Tang Dynasty court. He was stubborn and determined to become an official and compete with those evil people.

Although Li Shizhi was no longer the prime minister, the prince's young master was also a famous title, so Du Fu could come into contact with people who were more likely to recommend him. When he went to Chang'an City, he was familiar with Li Shizhi's disciples. This time, He and Fei were invited to have a banquet for scholars and scholars, and he was also invited.

After going to Buyun Tower, several people arrived first. These Confucian scholars were chatting together and had to work hard for half a day. Although Du Fu felt that these false rituals were boring, he had to work hard with everyone.

At the third hour of Si, all the invited people arrived and the wine and food began to come. Du Fu's family was average, and he didn't have to worry about money before. After the two broke up, although Ye Chang still sent someone to send money and food to his family as usual, he returned them all. The prices in Chang'an City were so expensive, and a table of wine and food could not be taken down without 100,000 yuan. Seeing the table of wine and food, Du Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The poem "The rich family smells like wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road" does not come out of thin air, nor is it even a work of anger for a moment.

"Drinking Win"

"Drinking Win"

In any case, everyone was eating and drinking, and Du Fu could only follow the crowd. After three rounds of wine, the He Langjun exchanged glances with Fei Langjun, and then He Langjun said, "Although Chang'an is good, it is not where I have lived for a long time. You are all my friends. Everyone has similar ambitions, but their lives will always be separated. Perhaps after today, we will go our separate ways..."

"Why did you say this?" Fei Langjun said in surprise.

"In the past, it was because it was the best place in Chang'an and the place where I dressed and dressed. But when I looked at Chang'an recently, I felt that the smell of money was no longer the quietness of the past..."

Everyone was very surprised. If it were about the smell of money, this Langjun He also liked yellow and white things. At this time, he sighed this way, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Hangjun He must be inspired by his feelings. Why did you make you so depressed?" Fei Langjun asked again.

"What are we doing when we live in Chang'an? Is it just that we can express our will to heaven, and become officials, and live up to our ambitions? The officials of the Tang Dynasty were selected by the saints and took charge of hundreds of responsibilities for the emperor. Therefore, with the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, officials were not allowed to do business for merchants. However, just yesterday, there were sixth-rank officials who competed for the rare treasures they plundered, extravagant and unscrupulous."

He Langjun said endlessly, in his mouth, the bidding move yesterday was Ye Chang's sins. He Langjun is worthy of being a literati, and the last man also recited a poem: "Stone Chong curtain covers the curtain, Wang Rong defeats Li...

He chanted halfway, but forgot his other half for a while. After holding it in for a while, he blushed and said, "Anyway, Ye Shiyi is extremely arrogant, extravagant, lewd and shameless."

After he finished speaking, Fei Langjun over there strode and said, "That's right, Brother He said, Fei also felt that it was very inappropriate. Ye Shiyi's actions were really not in line with the court's orders, how could he do this? He ruined the style of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, Tufan praised Donglu and came to our Tang Dynasty and were frugal. It is said that in order to save expenses, he lived in a 10 cents-a-night rebellion in Chang'an City. He did not eat in the morning. He was really hungry and picked up the Hu cakes that people abandoned on the street to satisfy their hunger. Tufan was prosperous, which shows that one or two of our Tang officials should do this. Ye Shiyi's small official dared to ruin the style of the temple. It is really annoying, and annoying."

The people present looked at each other in a row, and the two of them sang and pointed the finger at Ye Chang. Although these people were not very familiar with official affairs, they also understood that it was definitely not a cause for their words.

Du Fu next to him looked cold and his eyes were cold.

Du Fu did not expect that today's meeting would be related to Ye Chang. He really didn't want to hear Ye Chang's name, but when he learned that Ye Chang made meritorious service on the border to recover Jilizhou, he used water instead of wine in his home and silently worshiped the world. He was very familiar with Ye Chang and knew that Ye Chang's life was indeed more luxurious than ordinary people, but Ye Chang had his explanation for his luxury: he could make money, and if he didn't spend the money a little extravagant and spread the money out, the money would turn into scrap iron.

Du Fu initially thought Ye Chang's theory was ridiculous, but later he observed the people's livelihood and worldly feelings, but gradually he felt that it made sense. A person is more luxurious based on his own income, and as long as he does not waste it, it is indeed beneficial to those who serve this person.

"What I mean is that if such people continue to be arrogant, my Tang Dynasty will not be the country." Someone couldn't help but say angrily: "He is just a cockfighter, but fortunately he became an official, how dare he do this?"

Someone started, and suddenly the crowd was in a raging mood, and everyone began to accuse Ye Chang. Seeing this scene, He Fei and the other two had a happy look on their eyebrows, and they knew that the matter was halfway through.

They took advantage of the heat to strike the iron, and then Mr. Fei said again: "We scholars and wise men, who control public opinion, can we sit down and see such villains as the rule? Brother He, don't rush to leave, we may as well..."
